Before we get onto the challenges I am pleased to announce the winner from last month's sketch challenge which was sponsored by Alota Rubber Stamps. The winner is Robin McK Congratulations Robin, please email Frances to find out how to collect your prize.

Now onto this week's challenge. Lattice .... this week we are going to include lattice in some form on our cards.

Crazy4Challenges C4C50

Happy Saturday everyone!

Of course Saturdays mean it is time for another challenge over here on the Crazy 4 Challenges blog. This week it is my (Frances) turn again to host the challenge.

When I first started thinking about what to do for the challenges in August, I decided to check out what special days were in August. in researching this online I discovered that the 2nd week of August was Elvis week which coincides with the anniversary of his death on 16th August 1977.

So my challenge for this week is that you need to include music somehow on your card. It could be a music related stamp, designer paper, embossing folders, punches etc..... whatever you wish. Of course if you have Elvis stamps you get double points hehe!

If you would like to play along with us, all you have to do is create a card/project, and upload it to your blog and/or to your SCS Gallery using the keyword C4C50. Don't forget to come back here and link it on Mr Linky so that everyone else can see it too.

Let's see what the "crazies" created for you this week

It's a new challenge month which means a new hostess ... this month I (Frances Byrne) am your hostess. I hope you will enjoy my challenges I have for you.

This week's challenge was inspired when I discovered it was going to be Cupcake Day in Australia on the 16th August .... apparently it's a fundraising event for our RSPCA. My apologies in advance if this challenge makes you run out and buy cupcakes hehe!

Anyway I know we all have tons of stamping related cupcakes out there .... be it stamps, templates, punches etc. So this week you need to include a cupcake/s in your project! So get out those cupcakes now :)
